James Woods recalls chaotic moments as Palisades fire gained momentum, praises 'good' neighbors for help.
Over 1,000 structures have been destroyed by the Palisades fire.
James Woods remembered the chaotic moments in Pacific Palisades on Tuesday afternoon when a deadly wildfire began destroying homes in his neighborhood.
As the flames drew nearer to his home, Woods and his family escaped. Although he is uncertain about the fate of his house, he informed "The Ingraham Angle" on Wednesday that it is still possible.
Woods stated that it was surprising that during the experience, it was discovered that none of them were celebrities, poor or rich, Democrats or Republicans. They were simply neighbors who were helping each other.
The Emmy Award winner's neighbor tried to stop the flames from reaching his deck by running over to his house and staying overnight to fight the blaze.
"Realizing the importance of good neighbors, friends, and relatives was an extraordinary experience, as stated by Woods," said Woods.
On Wednesday morning, his neighbor informed him that the houses on both sides of him and all the houses across the street had burned down, except for Woods' roof.
Over 1,000 structures have been estimated to have burned as the wildfire persists in Los Angeles County, officials said Wednesday morning.
According to Woods, he observed a firetruck positioned in front of his residence as the fire intensified, but the firefighters were unable to pump any water because "there was none."
The Los Angeles Fire Department's public information officer, Erik Scott, admitted in a post on X that there were difficulties related to water pressure.
"The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) proactively filled all available water storage tanks, including three 1-million-gallon tanks located in the Palisades area. However, water availability was impacted at higher elevations, which affected some fire hydrants due to limited replenishment of water tanks in those areas. The extreme demand caused a slower refill rate for these tanks, which created a challenge for our firefighting effort."
Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, was criticized by Woods for his alleged mismanagement of wildfires, with the ongoing aftermath serving as more than just a "wake-up call."
If Gavin Newsom is indeed the blithering idiot that Woods believes he is in his handling of fire management in this state repeatedly, this isn't a wake-up call. Instead, this calls for a tribunal to try him and determine whether he breached his oath of office to perform specific duties.
"As the fire chief, your primary responsibility is not to engage in a social justice exercise; rather, it is to ensure that water is delivered to areas affected by fires that are burning houses at a rate of hundred miles per hour in the wind."
